The King of the Neighborhood was back at KZME on the day he and producer Zapata released their latest EP “Silver Novelist” and it was a good time for sure. Serge spit bars as only he can and there was much comedy as the fellas hung out for the whole show. I also debuted the latest single from Destro Destructo entitled “Fade Away” and we announced the line up for the NW Hip Hop Fest Welcome to the Neighborhood showcase. Check out the playlist, links to the podcast below.

Check out a clip of NW artist Commenter-E on radio station 107.1FM KZME Welcome to the Neighborhood with DJ Klyph

Commenter-E stopped by 107.1FM KZME in July to talk about the upcoming project The Power Of One set to be released later this year. He also played the new single This Is Portland, which is now a free download on his website www.commentere.com

Commeneter-E also brought with him Danielle who’ll have a couple of features on the album. It was great to connect in person after a couple of years of social media interaction and his visit made for a great show.

Things started off with a phone interview from artists performing on the Liv Warfield event at the Doug Fir. DJ O.G. One, Tyrone Hendrix, Jarred Lawson and Ms. Warfield herself all took a minute before showtime to bless the Portland airwaves.

You can catch the whole show via podcast on iTunes. The first hour features the interview with Liv and and the gang, and the second hour is good music and conversation with commenter-E and Danielle. You can also catch past episodes via the KZME website podcast page for Welcome to the Neighborhood.

The playlist for the show is listed below. Be sure to tune in next week and every week Tuesday nights from 7-9pm pacific to 107.1FM in the Portland metro area and streaming live at www.kzme.fm/player

G_Force and Lawz Spoken are two of the premier producers based out of the northwest, and when they decided to come together for a project, you know it would be something to check for.

Green Team Official is a day in the life of Lwaz and G from waking in the morning to ending the day and includes guest features from artists Caitlin Cardier, Epp of TxE, Mrts Prpl, Illmaculate and Only One of Sandpeople, Fli Boi Moe, Mikey Vegas, Dizz and N.VS.

A full 10 track journey in the life of two artists. Be on look for visuals coming soon.

I have such great respect for the artists I’ve been building with in Portland for the last several years. I have enjoyed so much sharing their talents with the world via the radio programs I’ve been involved with. I often say I feel so much more comfortable having DJ in front of my name since I’m am on the radio, because I see the talent and work these artists put in and they are truly in a class of their own.

In April 2012, I was inspired to put together a mix live on the air of tracks that I listened to when I was younger. Here is the link and I invite you to listen and share it with your family and friends.

It’s been a minute, but I’m back LIVE on 107.1FM KZME with Welcome to the Neighborhood, still on Tuesday nights, but now airing from 7-9pm pacific and still bring you that local, local. One of the greatest advantage of airing live is better opportunities to interact with you, the listeners. But even better than that, it’s I get the chance to invite many of the artists you’ve been hearing on the show to come and hang out at the station. That way you get a peak behind the music, a look into the writing process, the production, how an artists prepares for performing, and a lot of times just some real cool stories.

I’ve been blessed to have local talent like Animal Farm, SlimKid3, Tony Ozier as well as folk just passing through like Spice1, Kev Brown and LMNO. Label owners like Kenny Fresh of Fresh Selects, promoters like Anthony Sanchez of Runaway Productions, Magazine owner The Kid Espi, record store owner DJ KEZ – the list goes on. I’m looking forward to inviting more artists on to share with you there music and their stories.

On February 7th, Destro Destructo of Oldominion is scheduled to stop by as we continue to showcase the monthly offering of the project produced by CashFlow (R.I.P). Then on February 21st, a special guest will be stopping by to share a new project that has the potential to take this NW movement to a whole-notha-level. On February, local MC and producer Tope of Living Proof and TxE will be by to talk about his upcoming release and his new label, then the following week Epp, a second 1/3 of TxE will be by to talk about his next project. And that’s only the beginning. I’m also looking forward to having J-Ritz and Saywords, Cool Nutz, DJ O.G. One and so many more.

Welcome to the Neighborhood on KZME is a show about local artists for the entire community, so hit me up on the Facebook fan page www.facebook.com/WTTNRadio of on Twitter @djklyph and let me know who you’d like to hear from.
